"Know how to respect and treasure the girl whom I am in love with"
Wouldn't you say "whom I love" instead? I'm just curious what you think about the person who wrote this or his state of mind.

To me, it sounds as if he'll treat her well if he's in love with her at the moment vs. love her forever. Anybody read it that way?

It means that you are being overly analytical,and too nit picky about grammar. I take it that you are either a teacher or a lawyer.
Since the two sentences mean the same thing, and since most guys tend to have poor verbal skills compared to girls, I would not assume anything just because he failed to be a concise as you would have.

When someone says I'm in love, it's like a new love found. And when someone says I love, it's a love that has become deeper along the road. If someone's falling in love, then they would want to know how to respect and treasure, but if he loves, then wouldn't he already know how to?

love someone and being in love with someone are two different things.
You love your mom, your sister, your friend but you are not in love with them.
You are in love with your boyfriend or husband, is different than just loving them.
This person seems to really be looking for the right girl, who he wants to treat him the same way he would treat her.
OR he is a real player and knows what to say to make the girl wonder if he likes her etc
seems like more of a first option, someone who is really caring and not afraid to show his feelings.

Either one is fine, depending on whether the writer means "I am in love with her" or "I love her." The writer meant the former, but you're thinking of the latter. Either one is grammatically correct.

well i cant tell you what i think of the person who wrote that, because i do not know the person.. but either way would be considered correct.
